Well of course she did, and she soon wanted more power. So yesterday we went and picked up this. Highly Rated

It is indeed a 2023 150 fresh from the crate. We had an order in since august, but it never seemed to show up, then the dealer told us it would be the end of November. I cancelled the order and tried a dealer that had one on their website. The problem is that they had it on order for someone else. They called me on Saturday and told me that the person was having problems and couldn't get financing, but if I wanted it they would unpack it and build it as soon as they got funds from me. I did a check by phone immediately, because it's been hard to find that color. Wife loves it.

Who knows, maybe going for the 50 a few months ago was best if it let her grow confident rather than intimidate her. Either way, great choice. That's my girl's favorite color in the line up too. Congrats on the new toy

Well, I didn't see it coming. We're old, I never thought she'd go and get her motorcycle license. 😂

That's probably all that I'll do to this one.
